Are you a pro Claire? :lol:

Would you prefer another cash milking pro on the board or a fan who's never taken a penny from the Club EVER?

No one is doubting Borleys passion, commitment, livleyhood or anything else that can be added, all we are saying and im sure today even he will agree, what he did last night being a highly rated and successful businessman and director of our football club and a true fan, was still unproffesional, he let a meesage board and its banter get to him and then let himself down.


Disagree actally Nobby, messageboards get to everybody and everybody at times lets themselves down at times due to the bollocks written on them.... hence why the more gutless hide behind fake names!

Ive known him since the 90's and known him very well and his family.

It's a simple equation HES CLASS and would only do what benefits his love Cardiff City Football Club.

He no doubt makes mistakes like everybody us, and that includes all of us, but he doesnt deserve what many are saying on here tonight.


There is no doubt in my mind that he was unprofessional last night Steve but more importantly, he showed he still hasn't forgotten his roots, he's a St Illtyds boy and came out fighting, off course when he put his Cyncoed hat back on he had to retract :lol: :lol: , we are lucky to have him. :ayatollah:

He is not just a fan though, he is in a position of power at Cardiff City Football Club. Simple really.

Re: STEVE BORLEY fact.

Thu Jul 29, 2010 11:05 pm

The guy has done more for the club than anybody I can think of.
He is a legend in my opinion and the fact that he posted his thoughts show that he is a passionate fan as well as a guy that has risked a lot to bankroll us.

And that means he can't make his opinion public knowledge? Do me a favour, SB could slag me off till the cows come home but i would still be proud to shake his hand and thank him for what he has done for this club. The man DESERVES more respect than is being shown on here lately. Lots and lots of people have very short memories....

No one is doubting what he has and will do for the club, for that the guy is well respected and in some eyes a legend, but it was wrong what happened last night, this is going round in circles think its time to pull this thread.

I'd gladly shake his hand for what he has done in the past. Doesn't mean it wasn't unprofessional last night though.

Probably more of a fan than the whole of this forum put together! I would love to see these people having a go put THEIR homes and businesses on the line for the sake of a football club.

Re: STEVE BORLEY fact.

What Steve Borley has done for the club has to be recognized, He is City threw and threw we all agree on that. Yes he was unprofessional last night but it shows the passion in the man. Yes he made a mistake but that's life we have all made posts on here we sometimes regret.
We need steve Borley at the moment because give me 100 Borleys instead of those Egg wankers raping our club week in week out. The problem was S.B was a man on his own against a whole boardroom intent on destroying our club from within.
OK he made a mistake!! shall we hang him ? or shall we slag him off until he leaves our club ? Is that what everyone wants ? NO i don't believe it is because the Man is MR Cardiff City. It was words from a passionate City fan now lets get off his back.
Talk about the directors ripping this club apart what worries me is us !! CARDIFF CITY fans on this site and Mike Morris's site who are doing just as good a job as those Eggers of ripping this club to pieces.
We are all mad as f**k City fans each and every one of us from Annis to Claude blue to TLG. We will all have different opinions but why are we fighting each other all the time.
Why cant we all stand together as one, we will have differing views but come Saturday afternoons we will all be shouting as one for the best team in football CCFC not AAMB & MMMB or CCMB :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

Steve the thread was locked due to it becoming repetitive and also were discussing a topic that has gone now and been deleted 24 hours ago so i thought it was time to put an end to it and move on, but if you want to carry it on then do so but it will keep going round and round and getting no where.

People who are acting outraged about this episode are being quite hypocrytical.
We are Cardiff City FFS, not Arsenal or Reading.
We are a grimy working class club and I for one am proud of that.

We have a reputation of hardness so I can't believe so many people are acting so melodramatic about what was said.
Sam did way crazier shit than this :)

Claire asked u 3 times which u did not answer . Was Borley's outburst against Annis here on Wednesday night UNPROFESSIONAL or not from a person who sits on the Board of Directors of a major British football club ? Simple question so pick the following answer

1. Yes

2. No

No need for an 100 word essay or mini CV coz we are CCFC fands and we all know what Borley has done for this Club over they years , for which I personally thanks and sdmire him . Steve answer the question ?? :ayatollah:

Thats OK then I didnt read all the posts tidy , so if Borley is a fan then why doesnt he come on here every night and takeover Carl's daily positive / negative update ? ? Be better coming from him , a " true fan and City legend " :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Mr Borley has every right to have his say and defend himself.

However, he didn't defend himself he attacked Annis personally over his attempted takeover of Merthyr which he got factually wrong had nothing to do with Annis' questions about Borley's bottle to stand up to Gethin Jenkins or Peter Ridsdale.

That's why we discribed what he said as 'unprofessional' and the fact he is a mate of yours doesn't change that.

Dont give me i been going since 73 bollocks.... the gates show that, the majority of slaggers off have jumped on the band wagon.

As a West Ham loyalist..... ive probably been going longer than the majority of internet nerds on messageboards who only jumped on " johnny cum late loyal fans"[/quote]
Agree with you on this one Steve. If half the i've been there since 72 or whatever had actually been every week then the club would never have been relegated to the 4th div etc....

I've been a regular since 83. I lapsed in mid 90s due to living away/finances/marraige.

Re: STEVE BORLEY fact.

Fri Jul 30, 2010 9:16 am

I was there in 71 when we just missed out on promotion. Our attendances were good and I think the same as today. The following season was the start of our decline. We fought relegation that year and our attendances fell dramatically. My fear is that history could repeat itself. Glad we have the Malaysians on board because I dont think they will allow that to happen.
